This translation of the AFP article does Attali no favors, though. We've all seen what "euthanasia" means in practice.
"The only similarities with the Facebook post found are two short extracts: But as soon as one passes 60/65 years, man lives longer than he produces and it costs society dearly , he says. He also explains: Indeed from the point of view of society, it is much preferable that the human machine stops abruptly rather than that it does not deteriorate gradually.
Jacques Attali is then in the process of advancing his point of view on the way, according to him, in which society approaches the question of the place of seniors and the extension of life expectancy.
He explains in particular: Hence I believe that in the very logic of industrial society, the objective will no longer be to extend life expectancy, but to ensure that within a fixed lifespan, man lives as well as possible but in such a way that health expenses will be as low as possible in terms of costs for the community.
As always I am reproached here for wishing for what I am only predicting and denouncing. The new version is just a delusional extension of the false quotation that I had condemned for defamation in 1983 , commented Jacques Attali in his response to AFP.
In the book, he concludes: Euthanasia will be one of the essential instruments of our future societies in all cases. In a socialist logic, to begin with, the problem arises as follows: socialist logic is freedom and fundamental freedom is suicide; consequently, the right to direct or indirect suicide is therefore an absolute value in this type of society. life when it is too unbearable or economically too costly, will emerge and will be common practice. I therefore think that euthanasia, whether it be a value of freedom or a commodity, will be one of the rules of future society ."
